Noob Samurai?

It's not what I thought it would be. Expecting a giant ass sword that can in real life chop off flesh with ease, I believed that GM would die. But when I used it, I was slightly surprised. It's hold feature is cool, and it makes you move slower, preventing you from running around like a maniac chopping people. Now it does 48 damage on the chest/stomach area (three hit kill), one hit kill on the head and is heavier than the axe. The one thing I do not appreciate is it's lag, and its range. It's farther than the shovel in range, so apparently this gives rising ground for it to be the new "noob samurai". And some say it also lags like the shovel. However it's got enough drawbacks to make it slightly less nooby. I think it's epic for GM, but its range is unfair. So I'd give it a "Sure" out of a "OMGINEEDTHAT****" ranking.
